The Proud Mother.

Not only do the descendants of AM
orleans who came over in the May
flower or those who signed the Decla-
ration Of independence pride them
selves on their descent, but members
of families that have lived respectable
and unknown are quite satisfied as to
the high social position of themselves
and their ancestors. The bearer of an
illustrious quite properly
looks upon the record of some local
achievement, rather than the names
Worldwide significance, as the source
of family pride. In Rhode Island the
surname Luther is very common.
Some years ago the mother of Il prom
ising young Luther was exhibiting the
child's accomplishments for the edili-
cation of the newly settled pastor.
And what is the name of your lit
tie boy, MIS-. Luther?' asked the clcr-
gyman.
"EraSmus, SIR
Erasmus Luther! Your son should
have a brilliant future, for his name
combines the names of two men of
genius"
Yes" said the gratificd mother.
"we named him after his uncle 'Ras-
mus; he was Selectman for ten years
up to Cumbcrland."-B0StO Trans

as was the particular specimen here
mentioned, as they have not only been
tanned, but have been known to breed
in confinement. 1t is believed that in
the far-away past all such birds were
able to fly, but, ceasing to use their
wings for flight, became at last incap-
able of doing o
A young emu once appeared in a

II tremendous chase, we ran it down
and brought it home, intending to tame
it.
1t was only about two feet high, and
could not have been more than six
weeks old; but the way it ran before
we caught it made us think that il
must be tired, so we shut it up in a
stable about twenty feet square.
The instant we put it down it began
to run round and round the stable as
hard rs it could 90. My brother sug-
gested that this might be nervousness,
and that perhaps it did not like strang-
ers looking at it.
So we left it for IN hour quite alone.
When we came back it was running
round harder than ever. with its mouth
open and its wings hanging down.
Frank decl0cd that young emus al
ways acted like that when they were
having a good time, but its appearance
was anything but joyful.
Three hours later it was still running,
and did not stop until it fell down dead;
four hours and n half after we first shut
it up. during which time l am am GER

miles.-Youth's Companion.

DUTIES OF MOTHERS TO THEIR LIT
TIE GIRLS.
A great many mothers neglect
their little girls instead of keeping
q vigilant care over them. You
will see their girls of 10, 12, and Is
years of age on the street at 8 and
10 o'clock at night. Mothers, where
are you, that you don't look after
your little girls and keep them out
Of the hands of disrespectful boys?
"Why am at temperance meet
ing, at the foreign missionary
society, or at convention to see
who is nominated for Mayor or
Councilmen," had you notbetter at
tend those meetings in day time,
when your little girls are under the
eyes of their teachers at school,
and be at home when night comes
and see that your little girls are at
home. Your little girls think
"Mamma goes and spends the
night from home, why it is right
mamma does so." They are
young, innocent and easily per-
suaded. Mothers, if your little girls
are lost, who is to blame for it?
You will have to answer in the
Great day: what will be your an
swer. God gave you them and
commanded you to train them up
in the proper way. Some mothers
beat their little girls like oxen, and
am sorry to say some of the
mothers claim to be Christians.
God pity them. Had you not bet
ter let the men run the Govern
ment and you stay ut home and
run your house. Fathers can do
very little with girls. Mothers can
do very little with boys. So you
see your duties. For your little
girls sake please do your duty to
them. Otis.

Do Sunday School Scholars
Ever Become Great?

To the Editor of the Sun-,Sir: 1t
has been subject of discussion in
this community why persons who
attend Sunday school never attain
prominent distinction in the pro-
fessions, the arts, or in the sciences.
The encyclopedias, biographies,
and sketches of prominent men of
all the walks of life have been
searched to find whether any one
of them attended Sunday school
in their youthful days, and it does
not appear that any ever did attend
Sunday school.
How does it happen that Sum
day school education dwarfs
mans ambition, or rules him out in
the race for preferment? Ministers
of the Gospel of Christ do not ap-
pear to have been Sunday school
scholars. There is nothing in the
Congressional Register to show
that member of Congress ever
heard of Sunday school. The
members, I am told, furnish the
data for the biographical notices
that appear In the Register. !
never heard Of an editor who ad-
mitte6 that he was In any way in
debte,t to Sunday school instruction
for his morals, integrity, or good
common sense.
Won't you be kind enough to give
me some reason why Sunday schools
are so generally, In fact altogether,
ignored by distinguished menY p.

Fathers you are responsible to
God for neglecting to train your
boys in the admonition of the
Lord, and in doing this, there is no
better way than to set the example
before them, as your boys think
what father does is right, and they
will follow your example. Some
fathers will swear before their little
boys, and as soon as they get old
enough the boys will swear. Then
the father will punish them for
doing what he has taught them by
his example. Fathers should give
Their boys privileges, always keep
Ing them in bounds. Never let
your boys be tramping the street
after night and going in bad COM
pany.
1t Is your duty to see that your
little boys are at home when mig hit
comes. You should never use bad
language before them. If they
disObey your orders, correct them
through kindness and not through
harsh words or means; they are
not brutes, they are human, and
should be treated so. Some faith
ers will slap their little boys in the
face, on the head, or kick them,
that father is worse than a brute,
as brutes do not do so. Kind words
love and affection are the best pun
ishment to be administered to the
little boy. 1t whips him worse
than to beat him like a brute. He
will not disobey you when you,
through kind words admonish him
The day has gone by for fathers to
beat their little boys. You will
have to answer in the Great day
# you neglect your duty to your
little boys. God has given them to
you and commands you to train
them up in the way they should 60
and when they get old they will
not depart from it. How many
little boys have been neglected by
their fathers? Where are they
now? Some in prison, some have
been hung, and God only knows
where others are. Fathers, in the
Judgment day you will have tc
answer for your neglect. What will
be your answer?
DUTIES OF BOYS TO THEIR FAITH.
Boys you should love your father
obey him; never do any thing ht
tells you not to do. Always obey
him. Love him. You should never
go any where without you ask your
father; II 1t is proper for you to ge

Said a young man to us, on the street,
few days ago: You're throwing cold
water on an enterprise we young men
are engaged in" Inquiry elected the in
formation that our advocacy of large
iron foundries and machine shops at this
point was regarded as injurious to the
plans of two or three fellows who desire
to do little private speculating at the
expense of the people IN Jackson. The
ideas of men differ. Anything intended
for the good of Jackson, OF Jackson Coun-
ty, can have our earnest support and eff
fort. But the remark of our young
friend reminded us of an incident coming
under our observation once upon time !:
A very small, black bug was engaged in
an attempt to roll large ball up hill. AS
often as it would get in sight of the top
down would go the whole business, and
sometimes before the top was reached.
Finally, after an exhaustive effort, the
disconnected beetle turned his favorite
enterprise and trundled it off, out of
sight. We didn't see solitary man get
down on all fours and try to help the
miserable bug propel the ball up the hill,
and it doubtless left with a firm-seated
disgust for everybody.

Changes !!

There's wearying sound in the winds that sigh
In the wanton play of the Summer morn,
A wearying thought in the tints that fly
From the laden boughs of the blooming thorn
There's a saddening glow in the lustrous wing
That mocks at the feeble touch of art
sorrowing tinge in the notes that spring
From the varied store of timorous heart.
Though the breezes come with an angel kiss
Touching the brow with a whispered cheer,
Beyond the glow of the passing bliss
Approaches the shade of sudden fear;
The violet greets witha merry smile
The suns first glimmering streaks of gold.
Ben cath the radiant leaves, the while,
The earth Is gloomy, and damp, and cold.
Though the music rise from the pious throng,
Under the blue of the arching skies,
Beneath that volume of sacred song
The touch of lingering sorrow lies;
So strangely mingled are mortal things,
The good, the bad; still following on
A oyful message full often brings
The mournful tale of pleasure gone.
Feeble and faint are the slender lines
That mark the limit of mortal pcw'r,
Dim is the hope which feebly twines
About the the thought of the passing hour;
But the fairy sweep of gentle breath
Times the soul that is marching on,
But rent in the shadowy veil of death
heart in sorrow, a loved one gone.
IT'S thus the tenor of life shall be-
Light and shadow In mingled play,
Changing, through all eternity,
The peaceful night and the boisterous day;
Yet presence speaks in each changing hour,
Like a soothing oil to the troubled wave;
Behold, he sendeth his wondrous pow'r-
Strong to deliver, mighty to save ~
